Dozens of Hitler Artworks to be Auctioned in Nuremberg

TEL AVIV – Thirty-one artworks said to have been painted by Adolf Hitler will be auctioned on Saturday in Nuremberg, with the highest starting price set at more than $50,000.

The Washington Post reported that Auktionshaus Weidler will auction off dozens of works signed by the Nazi dictator or initialed “A. Hitler.” The auction’s catalog notes that “the items come from Austrian or rather European private ownership, originally from famous artists of the Third Reich, their heirs or from the estates of collectors.”

Before he dreamt up his Final Solution to rid Europe of its Jews, Hitler peddled his paintings on the streets of Vienna.

The collection includes a nude sketch Hitler drew of his niece, Geli Raubal, in 1929.
